outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp lo-
cation is unavoidable, use a residual
current device (RCD) protected sup-
ply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of elec-
tric shock.
3 PERSONAL SAFETY
a)Stay alert, watch what you are doing
and use common sense when operat-
ing a power tool. Do not use a power
tool while you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medica-
tion. A moment of inattention while oper-
ating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
b)Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protec-
tion used for appropriate conditions will re-
duce personal injuries.
c)Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and/or
battery pack, picking up or carrying
the tool. Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch or energising power
tools that have the switch on invites acci-
dents.
d)Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on. A
wrench or a key left attached to a rotating
part of the power tool may result in per-
sonal injury.
e)Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the power tool in unex-
pected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
g)If devices are provided for the con-
nection of dust extraction and collec-
tion facilities,
connected and properly used. Use of
dust collection can reduce dust-related
hazards.
4 POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a)Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct power tool for your applica-
ensure these
tion. The correct power tool will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
b)Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on and off. Any power
tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c)Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or battery pack from the
power tool before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or stor-
ing power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
d)Store idle power tools out of the reach
of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or
these instructions to operate the pow-
er tool. Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
e)Maintain power tools. Check for mis-
alignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other con-
dition that may affect the power tool's
operation. If damaged, have the pow-
er tool repaired before use. Many acci-
dents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
g)Use the power tool, accessories and
tool bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for op-
erations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
5 BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
a)Recharge only with the charger speci-
fied by the manufacturer. A charger that
is suitable for one type of battery pack may
create a risk of fi re when used with anoth-
er battery pack.
b)Use power tools only with specifically
are designated battery packs. Use of any
other battery packs may create a risk of in-
jury and fire.
c)When battery pack is not in use, keep
it away from other metal objects like
paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws,
or other small metal objects that can
